| Shorter planning to offer additional online programs (Rome News-Tribune) Posted: 05 Mar 2010 01:30 PM PST Shorter College has requested approval to begin offering programs that will add to its growing number of online courses. Pending approval, Shorter will offer an associate's degree in science, a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's degree in accounting in the fall of 2010. All three degree offerings will be fully online, and classes will last eight weeks each. According to Sean Butcher, director of online programs, the associate's degree in science is ideal for students needing to complete their core curriculum classes before transitioning to a bachelor's degree program. The Bachelor of Business Administration is tailored after the traditional BBA degree with courses in accounting, marketing, economics, information systems and management. The Master in Accounting targets those with an undergraduate degree in accounting or those looking to fulfill the Certified Public Accountant credential education requirements. Shorter College began offering online courses in June 2009 with an array of general education courses. The addition of online courses grew from the college's strategic plan and is an important step toward opening new avenues for individuals seeking a college education, according to Shorter College President Harold E. Newman. "We recognize that we live in a technological world and that people are turning more frequently to the Internet for educational services," he said. "We also recognize that not everyone can go to a campus and attend classes. By utilizing an online format for the delivery of our courses, we allow that segment of the population to have the educational experiences that they need."
